I don't want to rain on your parade, but there are a few points ..
|
|
|
|
1)
|
|
While all the LDP material is freely available and, as far as I know,
|
|
the name is not trademarked so you can use it without legal hindrance,
|
|
it is other people's work. They deserve credit and recognition for it.
|
|
|
|
You need to be rather careful that you don't appear to be trying to
|
|
exploit their good name without their permission. It appears from your
|
|
post that you are not being sufficiently careful.
|
|
|
|
2)
|
|
My quick check does not show you or anyone else at orci.com as
|
|
subscribed to ldp-discuss. (Of course, perhaps you're subscribed
|
|
from some other address.) Methinks if you want to contribute to
|
|
LDP, you should subscribe.
|
|
|
|
Not being subscribed, you may have missed some other replies to
|
|
your message, along the lines of my (1) above. Check the archives.
|
|
|
|
3)
|
|
If, as it sounds, you are thinking of some form of index of LDP
|
|
documents, bravo. This is work that needs to be done. However,
|
|
this raises a bunch more questions.
|
|
|
|
Are you aware of existing indexing projects? The only one I know
|
|
of is OMF, the Open Metadata Framework:
|
|
<A HREF="http://metalab.unc.edu/osrt/omf/">http://metalab.unc.edu/osrt/omf/</A>
|
|
There may be others I haven't heard of.
|
|
|
|
What will your index look like and what are its advantages?
|
|
|
|
Are you targeting only LDP documents? What about
|
|
man pages
|
|
docs in info format
|
|
HowTos whose authors chose to put them on oswg.org
|
|
stuff like the netfilter HowTos that cover an important
|
|
Linux facilty but for some reason aren't in LDP
|
|
<A HREF="http://netfilter.samba.org/">http://netfilter.samba.org/</A>
|
|
stuff like my FreeS/WAN docs (www.freeswan.org) that
|
|
isn't yet in a format that lets it go into LDP
|
|
|
|
Why do this on your web site? Is that the best place? Do you
|
|
have the server power, bandwidth and skilled admin resources
|
|
to make it a good place?
|
|
|
|
Will you distribute the tools so others can do similar indexes?
|
|
|
|
Do you need help? This list can be an excellent resource. There
|
|
are a lot of people with a variety of skills and interests.
|
|
Post more about your project and you should get lots of feedback.
|
|
Criticism, suggestions, pointers to resources, perhaps even
|
|
volunteers.
